NEW Client/Server Demo and MMS Analyser Software

for IEC 61850 / MMS (with Web / XML support)

posted on 2004-07-20

Enjoy!

The Demo package contains:

  • Executable Software of a complete server according to the coming IEC standards IEC 61850 (Communication networks and systems in Substations) running under Windows (95, 98, NT, 2000, XP) [WinServD.exe - 1226 KB based on Tamarck's MMSdTM] with:

    • A simple Relay Information Model
    • Life Process values,
    • IEC 61850 services (Read, Write, Control, Reporting, Logging, ..., Selfdescription, ...),
    • Integrated Web server,
    • HTTP services (GET and POST),
    • Mapping of the model and data to HTML and XML, ...
    • Simulation of process values, and
    • mapping to TCP/IP (WINSOCKET) and OSI-TP4

... just use your standard Web Browser and browse through
the Wind Power Plant Information Model ...

it is that simple ...

A picture says more than 1000 words.

This demo says more than 1000 slides!

Try the New demo posted on 2004-07-20.

The following figure shows the two ways (MMS clients / http) to communicate with the server.


Note: Client and server may run on the same (localhost) or on different PCs (over TCP/IP).
The support of the web technology (http, html, xml) is an add-on to the standard 61850.
The demo server is an *.exe; *.dll is available, too.

The server window (of the server exe: WinServD.exe) shows the demo:

An example of the client visualization using web technology (standard MS IE) - just link to "localhost" (make sure that no other webserver is running on your PC:

The complete information model is depicted. Click on on of the buttons to get the values (the client polls the server automatically). Note that the support of a http based standard mapping is not yet available - it is under way.

The complete Information Model (or any part) of the Relay device can be retrieved XML coded as depicted in the following excerpt:

Start the new IEC 61850 Browzer client (BrowzerD.exe) and click on "Connect":

Note: The Browzer (BrowzerD.exe) only runs with the server of this demo (WinServD.exe)!!

If running client and server on one PC "Connect" to the "DEMO" as shown:

After connecting the Browser automatically retrieves the complete information model when it connects to the server (please read the readme.txt before using the demo, especially when running the cleint and server on different PCs):

Click on one of the Logical Nodes (LLN0, MMXU0 or XCBR0), the Browzer shows the complete information model as a tree:

The MMS Ether-Real Analyzer [user guide, pdf 545 KByte] is an excellent open source tool to analyze Network traffic including MMS [download MMS Analyzer]: The picture shows a response of an MMS GetVariableAccessAttribute service. The values are an IEC 61850 "MX" Functional constraint with the DataObject "FltMag" and "f" component.

This and other examples are included in the MMS Browzer.

The MMS Ananlyzer analyses also IEC GOOSE and SV (sampled value) Exchange.
